I got an email yesterday from the Mariners saying single tickets will go on sale to season ticket holders on Thursday. (They go on sale to everyone else on Saturday.) So I touched base with my brother and nephew to firm up what games we wanted. Then I checked the details. Hmmmm the tickets actually go on sale at midnight which means that the Boston people will have a 3 hour head start Thursday morning. OH no. Do I stay up til midnight to make sure I get good seats??

I chewed on this for two fucking hours until it finally dawned on me that the number of people in Boston looking to buy single tickets on opening weekend AND who are also Mariner season ticket holders... might not be a huge number. DOH.

Moving on.

Yesterday I had some chicken salad in a glass container in the fridge and I pulled it out for lunch. Before I could even get it dished out,however, I dropped it. The glass container broke and the chicken salad splated. I have a rug over tile in the kitchen but most of the mess was on the tile. Getting down on all fours to clean it up was not too bad but getting up again was a problem. I've noticed lately that my fat old body is losing abilities right and left. I am not only more inclined to drop shit, picking it up is more of an issue. It's a double whammy. I'm sure I could fix it with exercise, but I'm not sure that's a price I'm willing to pay.

As if to bold face the directive, however, I did step on a sliver of glass this morning. I got it out of my foot quickly and easily and got out the vacuum cleaner but still... clear messages.

Oh they got the towel situation resolved at the gym! Already. Nice

I think today is Walmart day. There is no Walmart near here. There's one about 20 minutes south. And one about 40 minutes north and one about 20 minutes east. I think I'm going to the east one. There used to be a great Jewish restaurant next to it but sadly, they closed. But, at least that means there's no reason to wait until lunchtime.

I am mainly after fabric - fleece. And general shopping. I figure this week is my last chance for any Walmart sanity until January.

Ugh, thanks for the reminder of any semblance of Walmart sanity going away real quick. I can't believe next week is Thanksgiving already and then BOOM, we're into Christmas and the end of the year. I live in the boonies, so the nearest Walmart Supercenter is about 45 minutes away without traffic. Luckily, it's right next to where I work, so I may have to do a bathroom and kitchen products run tomorrow before I regret putting it off any longer. Sure would be nice to not have to go to any large stores like that until after the first of the year (Costco not included in that list cause we can't not go... urgh).

Sigh.. I just dropped a full glass of cat kibble an hour ago. EXPENSIVE cat kibble for my variously challenged 17 year old cat. Inedible now due to glass mixed in it. Sigh. I have always been somewhat clumsy but it is getting worse with the years...!

It's a bitch. Don't go back and step on the shards, tho. That's just insult to injury!

and, p.s. welcome to my 'friends' list.

Forgive me if i'm about to state the obvious but how about one of those plastic brushes and a shovel with long handles (i have one) and a grab stick . Both might make those sometimes difficult things at our age easier. Quicker than getting the vacuum out sometimes.

Yes, it is almost the time of year where I try to avoid Walmart unless I can go very early.

A week or so ago, I was bringing in a bag from the store and it was just like my grip released and it broke and made a complete mess all over the floor. 'm not sure what ticked me off more, breaking the jar or having to clean it all up.
